    What an awesome Labor Day Weekend!!!! The temps were nice and rain stayed away from the Phillips Area for most of the weekend. The major rain earlier in the week dropped the water temps back into the lower 70, closer to where it should be for the first week of September. This week I had more Walleye trips, we didn't get a lot of keeper sized fish ...

    September 3, 2013 Jordan MarshMarsh Outdoors  Rice Lake Fishing Report  Stable 70 and 80 degree temperatures in the forecast should keep fish in similar areas that they were found at over the holiday weekend.  The bass are still holding in the deeper weed edges in the lake. If you are around cribs they are holding tight to those ...

    By Dave Duwe 9/2/13 through 9/9/13 Fishing remains excellent on Lake Geneva.  With the passing of Labor Day, the boat traffic should be decreasing.  The smallmouth bass are still schooled up very tight and are available for most anglers if they go deep enough. Smallmouth bass remain on rocky points in 21-25 ft of water.  The best ...

    By Dave Duwe 9/2/13 through 9/9/13 With Labor Day in the past, the pressure on the lake is going to be reduced by about one half.  The warm weather is keeping the fish in their mid summer patterns. Largemouth bass are in small schools.  They can be located by Browns Channel, just west of Willow Point and by Del Mar subdivision.  Y...

    By Phil Schweik With only a few short months left until Mother Nature turns our open water playground into an ice bowl, it's time to really turn the focus up on that big musky you’ve been hunting. With all the techniques available to anglers, one method that most anglers often overlook is jigging for muskies. Ron Hall with ta nice fall mu...

    Northwest Wisconsin guide Dave Hraychuck knows how to catch fish elsewhere too.  Four Wisconsin anglers including Hraychuck, left, and Bill Lind brought home 20 walleyes and threw back a lot more in North Dakota this week.  Expect great action and scenery with Hraychuck on Wisconsin lakes and streams too.

    By Mike Yurk For the love of crankbaits When I was kid growing up in the 1960s, we called them plugs, and when I talk to older fishermen, they still call them plugs. Today we call them crankbaits. Regardless if you call them plugs or crankbaits, they remain some of the most effective baits for bass. I guess I have always had a love affair for pl...

    By John Lindeman Take what you can get! This scenario rears its ugly head each and every year. Once or twice between mid-summer and early fall every fish in Wisconsin seems to virtually disappear. Just as predictable as this virtual mass exodus is our reaction to the annual event. We find ourselves motoring back to the dock with a dry live well ...

    By Dave Duwe A day of fall fishing Though summer is over and most have their boats put away for the winter, October is one of the best months of the year for numbers and trophy-sized fish. A favorite walleye hot spot is the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage near Mercer, Wisconsin. I recently spent a day on the water with Jerry “Jerkbait” Hartig...

    MADISON – A draft proposal for a new, simplified strategy for how Wisconsin allocates stocked chinook salmon among its Lake Michigan counties would factor in charter boat trips and would provide counties a baseline level of stocking to support fall fishing runs, state fisheries officials say. The proposed draft stocking strategy, developed b...

    Heat and rains have brought water levels up both in temp and inches the past few days.  Surface temps are ranging in the mid to upper 70’s on many lakes due to the unseasonably warm weather.  With rains and storms blowing in since Sunday night, dumping almost another 5” of rain to the Lakeland area.  The warmer temps have...

    Warm humid weather this past week feels like the dog days of summer. Despite warm temperatures, the fish are still biting, but fish are moving. The walleyes are really moving right now, not only in lake location, but depth of water as well. Some fish are located on soft bottom areas chasing schools of perch, and some of those fish are suspending a...

    Fishing on Lake Geneva has been really inconsistent for the past few days.  The cooler temps have affected the deep water bite for bass.  There is hot weather predicted in the coming days so that bite should become better in the week to come.  As Labor Day is fast approaching, I expect some of the fish to start moving into their fall...

    After the past few weeks of rather slow fishing, the overall bite on Delavan is starting to improve.  Most of the anglers are having success for most species, with the exception being Walleye which are still tough to find.  The boat traffic will remain heavy through Labor Day and then we typically see a drop off on week days. Largemouth ...
